Why It’s Important to Know
Diabetes is a chronic health condition that affects millions of people worldwide, and understanding it is crucial for maintaining good health and preventing complications. Whether you’re concerned about your own health or a loved one’s, knowing the facts about diabetes can empower you to make informed decisions and take proactive steps toward managing or preventing the condition.
Diabetes occurs when your body is unable to properly process and use glucose (sugar) from the foods you eat. This leads to elevated blood sugar levels, which can cause a range of health issues if not managed properly. There are two main types of diabetes:
Type 1 Diabetes: An autoimmune condition where the body attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. This type usually develops in childhood or adolescence, and those affected require insulin injections to manage their blood sugar levels.
Type 2 Diabetes: The more common type, often linked to lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, and weight. In Type 2 diabetes, the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t produce enough of it, leading to high blood sugar levels. This type can often be managed with lifestyle changes and medication.
